Carly Rae Jepsen Announces 2027 North American Tour Behind Double Album Day + Night
Carly Rae Jepsen will tour North America in 2027 in support of her eighth album, Day + Night, a double-disc project split between folk-leaning tracks and dance-pop. The run includes stops at Los Angeles' Kia Forum and New York's Madison Square Garden.
Carly Rae Jepsen has announced a 2027 North American tour in support of her eighth album, Day + Night, a double-disc release that splits its material between folk-oriented songs and dance tracks. The run will include major arena dates, among them Los Angeles' Kia Forum and New York City's Madison Square Garden.
The tour was first teased through billboards placed around the United States and Canada carrying the phrase «We Go Hard In This Family,» a line from Jepsen's recent single «Motivation.» The campaign gave fans an early signal that new music and live dates were on the way before the formal announcement arrived.
The trek is set to begin in Canada, extending the tour's footprint across North America. The routing reflects Jepsen's continued draw in large markets on both sides of the border, with the Kia Forum and Madison Square Garden serving as the most prominent venues confirmed so far.
Day + Night marks Jepsen's eighth studio album and her first double-disc project, a format that allows her to separate two distinct musical directions. One disc leans toward folk-influenced songwriting, while the other is built around the dance-pop sound that has defined much of her career. The structure gives the album a split identity that the tour will presumably have to translate into a single live show.
Jepsen first broke through with «Call Me Maybe» and has since built a reputation among pop audiences for a catalog that blends upbeat production with emotionally detailed songwriting. Her fan base has followed her through shifts in style and scale, and the 2027 dates represent one of her largest North American outings to date.
The billboard tease and the single «Motivation» together set the tone for the rollout, tying the album's title and themes to a phrase that fans could recognize before any official tour poster appeared. That approach has become common in pop music, where physical and digital advertising is used to build anticipation without a traditional press release.
Details on ticket on-sale dates, support acts, and the full itinerary have not been fully disclosed. The confirmed stops at the Kia Forum and Madison Square Garden indicate that the tour is being positioned as an arena-level production, which would be a significant step up in scale for Jepsen in the U.S. market.
The Canadian launch also places the tour's opening in Jepsen's home country, a pattern she has followed on previous cycles. From there, the schedule moves through the United States, with the two flagship arena shows anchoring the run in the country's largest media markets.
For fans, the announcement answers a question that had been circulating since the billboards appeared: whether the new album would be accompanied by a full North American tour. The answer is yes, and the 2027 dates will give audiences their first chance to hear the Day + Night material performed live.
The album's dual structure raises the possibility that the setlist will draw from both the folk-leaning and dance-oriented halves, though no details about the show's format have been released. Jepsen has not announced a residency or festival run in connection with the tour.
With the tour still more than a year away, additional dates and venue information are expected to follow. The initial announcement, built around the billboard tease and the «Motivation» lyric, has already given the project a recognizable slogan and a clear visual identity heading into the album cycle.
